Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: After Cam Heyward had an offseason that damaged his public relations, he needed to step up on the field. On Sunday against the Patriots, he certainly did that, manufacturing the splash plays the Steelers needed. In addition to a sack, he helped create two massive takeaways, both in the red zone. In a seven-point game, that’s a pretty big deal.
Cam Heyward did himself no favors this offseason in his campaign to sweeten his deal, fomenting ill will among fans.
